Notice of Drinking Water Monitoring and Reporting Violations

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has notified the CITY OF ROYSE CITY that we have violated the monitoring and reporting requirements set forth in Chapter 30, Section 290, Subchapter F. We are required to properly disinfect water before distribution, maintain acceptable disinfection residuals within the distribution system, monitor the disinfectant residual at various locations throughout the distribution system, and report the results of that monitoring to the TCEQ on a quarterly basis. Results of regular monitoring are as indicator of whether or not your drinking water is protected from microbial contamination. During the fourth quarter of 2008 beginning October 1, 2008 and ending December 31, 2008, we did not complete all monitoring and/or reporting for disinfectant residual monitoring & reporting, and therefore the TCEQ cannot be sure of the safety of your drinking water during that time.

We are working on the problem. Fourth quarter 2008 Disinfectant Level Quarterly Operating Reports mailed to TCEQ on April 9, 2009 continuing to file quarterly reports.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by mail.
